e1000e blocks the boot process when it tried to write checksum to its NVM

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

I have a Dell Precision 7560, with this issue. I just installed the proposed 5.10.0-1041 oem kernel package for testing.

While it did fix the boot issue, the e1000e driver is failing and I cannot use the wired network interface.

Here is the dmesg output of `modprobe e1000e`:

[ 293.106059] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver
[ 293.106059] e1000e: Copyright(c) 1999 - 2015 Intel Corporation.
[ 293.106442] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: Interrupt Throttling Rate (ints/sec) set to dynamic conservative mode
[ 293.194836] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid
[ 293.240151] e1000e: probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -5

Previously I was working around the e1000e NVM issues by building the e1000e module from the 3.8.7 source package from sourceforge. Applying the patches from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213667 to the 5.10.1038-oem kernel source and re-building the e1000e module also solved the issue.
